Balaam Prepares the First Altar
Numbers 23:1-6
1
Then Balaam said to Balak, “Build for me seven altars here, and prepare for me seven bulls and seven rams.”
2
So Balak did as Balaam had instructed, and Balak and Balaam offered a bull and a ram on each altar.
3
“Stay here by your burnt offering while I am gone,” Balaam said to Balak. “Perhaps the LORD will meet with me. And whatever He reveals to me, I will tell you.” So Balaam went off to a barren height,
4
and God met with him. “I have set up seven altars,” Balaam said, “and on each altar I have offered a bull and a ram.”
5
Then the LORD put a message in Balaam’s mouth, saying, “Return to Balak and give him this message.”
6
So he returned to Balak, who was standing there beside his burnt offering, with all the princes of Moab.
